OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 9:48pm: Your welcome. I will, just it would get her sooner, lol

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 9:17pm: At first they said he was going to be a Grad N Go and now he is leaving the following monday which means I get the whole weekend. I am excited about that. Ihope everything works out and you get to spend as much time as possible with him.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 9:10pm: That sucks. I hope you get to spend some time with him

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 8:58pm: Yes, we can and so can everyone else. Getting through the first few weeks are hard but, it goes by faster as the time goes by. How long do you get with him? I mean is he a grad n go?

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 8:52pm: Yes, the support here is great especially, with not much here at home. I always try to stay positive and talking with everyone helps keep that. Everything will work out and be great!

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 8:46pm: Aw that is so good. Those letters always put a smile on my face. Thanks. Yes, the support does help a lot. It helps knowing others are going through this and that we can do it too.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 8:38pm: Me too, we have never been that far way and for that long away from each other. Its good to hear about your letters. We have been through so much before this and when he went it I said if we make it through this we can make it through anything. About every letter has said he wants to marry me, which makes me so happy to know we have made it through this hard time. I have school, work, and everything to keep me busy. I am happy for you and your fiance and the best of luck

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 8:32pm: It isn't crazy at all. I use to do the same thing. It helped alot when I was getting use to him being gone and making me remember we could make it. His letters are always loving and very positive of us and it helps reassure me if I ever have doubts. It is crazy how fast it has went by lets hope the next 11 days go by just as fast

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 8:23pm: Thats what I use to do. Mine hold like 500 and I text all the time. It made me so mad because it NEVER did that. I would reread the texts and read the letters he sent. Now all I have is the letters. But, we are almost there and I can't wait to see him and wrap my arms around him!

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 25, 2010 at 8:09pm: Yes, it is very hard. But, it is so worth it. I had all my texts from his last day untill my phone deleted them because I had no more room. It made me so upset because I would go back and read them to make me feel better when I was down.
